Complex workstreams like contract management often require a set of viable strategies to improve internal efficiencies in an organization. Working closely with our clients in this professional context, we found that fine-tuning first the pre-signature and then the post-signature phase of contracting helps better manage the overall process. In June 2022, InvestCEE LegalTech Consultancy released Part I of our new strategy paper series dedicated to improving the pre-signing phase of contracting - the full PDF copy can be accessed in this article.

InvestCEE LegalTech Consultancy in collaboration with Hungarian digital law firm SimpLEGAL issued a practical guide on legal AI to showcase how smart legal technology opens up new opportunities for digitizing legal services.

In a digital economy, the value of legal work largely results from core human expertise multiplied by the ability to efficiently “package” legal know-how into technology. Legal analytics tools designed for lawyers allow a shift away from the billable hour and enable workflow data analytics that capture core human expertise.

In September 2020, Xakia Technologies issued the Legal Operations Health Check eBook -- a report summarizing the results of the legal operations benchmarking survey (the 'Health Check') carried out from April 2018 to July 2020. The Health Check was used by 349 legal teams in 37 countries and the eBook aggregates a significant volume of data about the current status of corporate legal departments of all sizes, in various industries, around the world.
InvestCEE contributed the EMEA overview to the eBook and this article is an extract thereof, aimed to inspire legal teams to improve their operations with data & analytics.

Traditionally lawyers have been measuring the value of their input in correlation with the time spent on legal work. While tracking time is relatively quick and easy, capturing the true worth of legal services can be a challenge. Yet demonstrating added value is increasingly needed in light of a changing economy and client pressures to reduce bills. Digital tools designed for the legal industry allow a shift away from the billable hour and enable workflow data analytics that capture valuable human expertise.

We are launching a blogpost series to showcase the contract management and contract data review capabilities of our legal innovation ecosystem. As part of the series, we will demonstrate how our partner platform Aivan.AI responds to certain common issues business teams face in the post-signing phase of contracting. In step 1, we will address one of the most obvious flaws in contract management: once signing occurred, contracts often become passive documents. In this post, we share some valuable insights as to how Aivan.AI helps activate contract databases.

We have also recognized that beyond the immediate human health aspect, there are additional, economic concerns that need to be dealt with in the current circumstances. And lawyers may have a special role to play in this regard. Enabling access to digital legal tools, easing the flow of goods and services, helping to virtually run our economies (locally and regionally) and getting creative about legal services will be essential going forward. To support legal teams through this period, we are here to team up and make use of the know-how we've accumulated in our legal innovation ecosystem. Here's a summary of how we are able to help.

Managing the contract lifecycle and making the most of contract data is one of the all-time top priorities of corporate legal teams. Improving contract management efficiency is easier with new technologies, yet there's typically a gap between the importance of these challenges and success in solving them. Given there are many contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions available on the market, it is rather confusing to understand which capabilities really drive the most value. Here's a summary from our partners from Aivan.ai explaining how they differentiate their tool on the legaltech market.

A couple of years ago, legal technology (legaltech) was still an unnoted topic of discussion among most lawyers in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). Even in more mature legal markets, the legaltech sector was just picking up, but often still poorly defined. Today, innovative software tools targeting the legal industry are being developed across Europe and legaltech startup maps are increasingly populated in several local jurisdictions. Our team at InvestCEE LegalTech Consultancy decided to look more closely at various legaltech solutions originating from the CEE region specifically and to provide an overview of this nascent market. We are excited to release the final version of the CEE legaltech report today!

Smart data management, contract analytics or AI-assisted contract management are some of the various terms used to describe technology tools that help more efficiently access and assess information embedded in contracts. While traditional document management systems force us to carry out and execute routine operations manually (like searching for specific phrases or sections in contracts, reporting on contract data, etc), smart technology helps to automate most of these manual tasks.
